I'm trying to connect to my SQL Server Express and I get this error. This happens both locally and on client.

Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed during the post-login phase. The connection could have timed out while waiting for server to complete the login process and respond; Or it could have timed out while attempting to create multiple active connections. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was
[Pre-Login] initialization=216; handshake=7899;
[Login] initialization=0; authentication=0;
[Post-Login] complete=5999; (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

Can someone help me?
